Abington Senior High School Possible Stabbing: Fight Reported Amongst Students, Police On Scene

Two separate fights broke out at Abington Senior High School in Highland Avenue, Montgomery County, on Friday, resulting in the arrest of three students. Police responded to the school after receiving reports of student involved in two separate fights in different areas of the school. During one altercation, two students engaged physically with an officer and school staff. The school initiated a brief lockdown until the situation was resolved. All three students are facing assault charges. Additional details are currently not available.

The following email was sent out by Dr. Jeffrey Fecher, Superintendent of Abington School District -

Abington Senior High School was placed in a brief lockdown until both altercations were under control. The involved students are with police in the main office. We have confirmation that one student was in possession of a pocket knife, though we do not have confirmation as to whether that weapon was the cause of the other student's injuries.

As Abington Police are still investigating, we do not have further information to share at this time. Dr. Swift will address these incidents with the entire school before the end of the day, reiterating that violence, whether inside or outside of school, is unacceptable."
